Dictionary Name
The name that you want to give this Generic dictionary. The name that you enter here will be the same for all the "codes" and "descriptions" that you enter for this dictionary, for example "SEX".
Code
The actual "codes" that you want the user to enter into a field on the Report Data Screen. For example, if the generic dictionary is for sex codes, then you would create two records, one with code "F" and the other with code "M".
Description
The description that goes along with the "code". For example, if the sex code is "F", then the description would be "Female".
Extra 1
Optional field that can contain any other piece of data that you might want to associate with this code.
If the "Extra 1" field is populated and you want its value to appear in the report, then you must use a special form of the Generic dictionary bracketed field syntax.
[{table code}.{field name}.G.{generic dictionary name}.{extra field name}]
Example: [R.SEX.G.SEX.EXTRA1)
Extra 2
Optional field that can contain any other piece of data that you might want to associate with this code.
Extra 3
Optional field that can contain any other piece of data that you might want to associate with this code.
